Miles Millpond

Miles Millpond. Poet, Peasant and Mystic

Stunningly little is known of Miles Millpond. Only two of his poems survive; the rest is a tantalising blend of folklore and unconfirmed tales of his wanderings up and down the country. He may have taken part in the Peasants’ Revolt of 1381; he may have been otherwise occupied. Who knows? His surviving work is presented here in full. The identity of the lady in this early tapestry is unknown.
